Buying a new Chevy Silverado 1500 from a local Chevrolet Dealer?

Always preferred but sometimes not possible, buying a new Chevy
Silverado 1500 from one of our local dealers here in Alaska was just
what we tried to do. Problem was, it seemed that everyone in Alaska got to
the dealers before we did. There just wasn't an Imperial Blue Metallic Chevy
Silverado 1500 Crew Cab with the 5.3 flex fuel engine left unsold. Unfortunately,
living in Kenai Alaska there are no Chevrolet dealers left in the area. This
ended up being no problem as we fired up our laptops and it was off to the
giant shopping mall called the Internet.

Once on the net, we Googled, New Chevy
Silverado Crew Cab Dealers, and immediately there the search result
was lists of truck dealers listed for us to choose from. But the one site
that made it so easy was the one at the very top, Chevrolet.com linked every
vehicle on every lot into one searchable database making shopping for a new
Chevy fast and fun. Way To Go Chevy and our hats are off to Google too. Thanks
to Chevrolet.com and the Internet we were able to locate the trucks of
interest in the areas we would be visiting. Two were at one dealership and
one was at another. With excitement and anticipation, we contacted the dealers
about the Imperial Blue Metallic Silverado Crew Cab's with the 5.3L
V-8 and Z71 Off Road and All Star packages as we wanted the bluetooth
capability for our iPhones, satellite radio and the On-star package was a
must too.

Alaska's Chevy and GMC Truck Dealers.

All the dealerships and their inventories are available from
Chevrolet's web site; Chevrolet.com. After using their web site
and locating the vehicles that came closest to our needs, we began calling
the dealers directly. Walla, vehicle galore, lot's of choices all across the
country.

Now the question that still remains, exactly which truck
to choose, the Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab ½ ton or the new Chevy
Silverado HD 2500 Crew Cab ¾ ton?
That was a question we needed to answer before going into the locating phase.
We chose the ½ ton over the ¾ ton just due to paint colors, the 2500 isn't
offered in Imperial Blue Metallic and the Chevy over the GMC Sierra for strictly
cosmetic reason. Besides, Chevy's have been taking our families over the roads
for most of our lives and its something that we take a lot of pride in. Chevy's
have been more than just the Heartbeats of America, they have also been reliable
and dependable, I guess that's where the old cliches' came from, “Like
a Rock”,
and “The Heartbeat of America”. Yes it's been true, Baseball,
Hotdog's, Apple Pie and Chevrolet; since their beginning, the trucks from Chevrolet
have been American standard of dependability and longevity, Like a Rock best
exemplifies the the materials and craftsmanship found in every Chevy truck
we have owned.

After all the failed attempts to buy our new Chevrolet truck
locally, we never gave up on the desire for that new Imperial Blue Chevy Silverado
Crew Cab. Well, welcome to the
digital age. Buying anything from cameras to cars is a snap from any business
that understands both the value of digital traffic and personalized service.
Both of these areas are being mastered by Dave
Smith Motors in little ole Kellogg
Idaho.

Wondering why the Imperial Blue Metallic was so important?
Well, we wanted it to match the color of our car. Pretty vain but that was
the actual reason behind this silly decision!
